Best Plastic Crate for X Large Dogs

Plastic x large dog crates are made of molded two-piece resin with ventilation screens on the sides and a steel door on the front. X large dog crates constructed of plastic do offer your dog more of the “den” feel. They are generally more lightweight and portable and are also easily hosed out. Plastic crates typically restrict air flow and the vision of the dog and are more susceptible to being chewed on. They are also less easily stored.

We found that Petmate makes the best plastic extra crates in two x large dog sizes. We especially liked that they are constructed with thick, sturdy plastic with non-corrosive wing nuts and extra strong steel wire.

How to Measure Your Dog For the Right X Large Dog Crate

There are two easy steps to ensure the cage you purchase for your x large dog is the right size. First, with your dog standing, measure from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail. Then add 2 to 4 inches and you will have the perfect length of crate needed for him to stretch out and move around – without having too much space. Second, sit your dog down and measure from the floor to the tallest point of his head. Again you will add 2-4 inches to this measurement and you will have the shortest height the extra large dog crate should be. Therefore, the dimensions of the crate should be the first measurement (plus 2-4 inches) by the second measurement (plus 2-4 inches) – A x B = correct x large dog crate size.
